I feel the earth move

I felt it too here, and I paniced as I am so scared of them.

We don't have a kit as such but I do know where everything is if we needed it and we do have water stored outside and inside.

I think they said on the news it was centered somewhere near hastings.  There was a good rumbling sound with it too, freaky!  I am scared of them too Becks

Rach good idea to have a plan, all those places that lost power!  Think I will check out the back of the phone book and see what they recommend in a kit.

Ooooh earthquakes are scary!!  We had REALLY bad thunder a few nights ago which scared the crap out of Dh & I!  It was sooo freakin' loud it shook the house.  Must've been right over top of us.

Anyway, we do have our survival kit all sorted.  We have 2 weeks worth of food & water.  Thermal blankets & ponchos (those plastic raincoat ones).  First aid kit, torch with built in radio & beacon with phone charger point, lighter, & tea candles.  Dh sorted it all for us.  He's a .

We have one "run away"  small backpack bag which is located in the garage where if we need to take off with no time to pack anything (like a tsunami is coming) that has the basic food, water & first aid kit to last a few days.  Then we have a large backpack filled with thermal blankets & the works to last us 2 weeks.
